The Deuce doing matinees? Those keeping-you-in-a-seat-til-your-butt’s-numb numbskulls think they can keep you awake for a might-as-well-be a break of dawn show? Certainly! For there is no nodding off when you’re being constantly creeped by THE GHOSTS OF MARS!! Ghosts!! Not just on – but OF – Mars!! A menace of “Mod-Prim” marauding maniacs on parade in Carpenter’s penultimate full feature and final film to garner a “wide” general release… A rollicking throw-back to matinee movie making mayhem where meager means are made the most of in the most creative of cinematic genre cobbling and serial-style storytelling… GHOSTS OF MARS screams to be seen either mid-day or mid-night – and with The Deuce!!
“Wait!” you say… and you continue, “… isn’t 2001 a bit late for The Deuce??” – as you would be correct with such a question… as – yes! – the Deuce was way dead by 2001!! But! Alas! The Deuce-Dimwits are delivering this delicious matinee morsel to you via the by-then-decrepit-near-derelict Astoria Theatre – where at the time a certain Deuce-Dummy did in the neighborhood reside and relished the afternoons at said theater – and relishing most making the matinee show of GHOSTS OF MARS mere months before the shuttering of its screen…
